Hi Judy,
Got a pair of he Chinese needles and I have to say I do not like them much. They are well made but they seem...industrial to me. I am getting more and more irritated with things that should look beautiful and be functional at the same time and are not. I guess I just want more beauty in my life.
So much of our world is cookie cutter, sameness and repetitive. I am beginning to really hate that and I did not really understand just what was the matter with me. When I got those needles I instantly understood! I get KnitPicks because they are pretty. The colors enchant me and encourage me. Now that the blue laminated needles are out I am going got get an entire set of the wood double points because they are so pretty to look at.
The CG just look.....I can't even think of a word for them. I don't like the way they feel either. They are about as soft as sand paper to me. Give me wood or give me death!
